8 Hi-Hat Techniques for Getting Great Sounds

Описание

Hi-hat technique is the key to great sounds. Drummers who develop their hands well can easily apply rudimentary techniques to the hi-hat. With a few adjustments explained in this video, you'll be ready to sound like a pro.

I'm a huge fan of drummers who pay close attention to the quality of their hi-hat sound. It's an instrument with so much potential to add both subtle and extreme timbres to the groove. Plus, it's a voice in itself as a set of cymbals that can make so many different sounds.
